Sitting across the Potomac River from Washington DC, Arlington is a place of epic American grandeur. Arlington National Cemetery is one of the most revered spots in the States – it's where the Eternal Flame of President Kennedy's gravesite burns, and where you can gaze at the iconic Iwo Jima flag-raising memorial. Close by is the Pentagon, symbol of US might and the world's largest office building.

The heart of America's capital, Downtown Washington DC is a place of sheer majesty. Walk the wide sprawl of the National Mall, overlooked by the Lincoln Memorial, and explore the museums that make up the Smithsonian (the original Star-Spangled Banner can be seen at the National Museum of American History). And then of course there's the White House, the nation's most iconic building, and the vast thoroughfare of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Where to stay

Downtown and near the National Mall is the prime choice, especially for first time visitors to Washington D.C..

The North Central district is a place to be if you’re looking for a neighborhood atmosphere with access to great museums, interest galleries, live jazz clubs and high-end nightclubs.

How to get to Washington

Ronald Reagon Washington National Airport is the closest and most convenient airport to Washing D.C., but it serves only domestic flights. The main international gateway is the Washington Dulles International Airport and it’s 26 miles west of D.C. Those driving in can use coastal superhighways I-95 and I-395. I-495 is the Capital Beltway but it’s notorious for having massive congestions.

"Comfortable hotel. Good restaurant (try the mac & cheese). Staff, every single one without exception, was friendly, capable, and delivered remarkable service. We were going to move to the W for the second half of our trip but stayed at the Liaison an extra three days because of the service."
